Tomorrow and coming soon….
Transparent screens
OLED Screens
2.9mm-thick OLED telly is the desirable shape of TVs to come. It’s the world’s slimmest TV model.
31 Inch1920×1080 HD visuals with passive 3D functionality built-in.
Mini - low cost wearable OLED screens
Flexi screens
Flexi Screens
OLED Screens
Sony’s latest concept – a full-colour flexible display built on the sheet of plastic, can bend and it still shows the video. It’s only 0.3mm thick and has a resolution of 160×120px.
Smart TV
Smart TV is an entertainment and app platform
You can use it to access video content from places like YouTube and BBC iPlayer, use social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter, check Google Maps and play games.
Wireless 4G networks
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports
2128 (about 3.4×1038)
From another perspective, this is the same number of IP addresses per person as the number of atoms in a metric ton of carbon.
WiFi 4G
While 4G wireless internet is not available everywhere yet – UK in 2012 - it is a very strong choice for travelling and mobile users. Based on phone tower signals, 4G service providers can give you from 1 to 50 megabits-per-second download speed
Better than the majority of Broadband services today
Wireless – NFC (Near Field communication)
Wireless power transfer and charging
Smart phones – dual core processors
Smart phone &Tablet docks
Augmented Reality
AR on our TVs today
Augmented Reality Apps - Wikitude
Augmented reality in FM tools
Overlaying data on real time images
Applications could include room booking, building diagnostics, space modelling and planning
AR – some examples

RiTech Signature USB
Straight out of 007, this offers ultimate data protection
With hardware encryption, through dual fingerprint recognition and a unique self destruct tamper protection
Cloud computing
How bright is the future?
Right side:
Place a photo (optimal size is 127x190.6mm to fit to the frame). Do so only when needed, because every slide with image will increase the file size.You can also place a text (by editing and overwriting this textbox)
……..foresight – it’s a wonderful thing
Sony concept computer
Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) touchscreen.
This computer is supposed to be in the market in the next 10 yrs, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility
Nokia concept phone
Nokia Morph concept phone will use nanotechnology based flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. This would mean you could change the shape of your phone/device (as shown in the picture).
How cool is that?
Maybe a step to far…….
Well, it will be cheaper to produce flexible display screens at some point so possibilities are endless.
Imagine computers that can change shape while using three-dimensional and touch-driven interfaces.
Smart buildings
Some of the technology coming to an office near you…..
Smart – so what is it?
Pertaining to the ability to do data processing locally; SMART: An intelligent terminal that can edit input before
transmission to a host computer.
The use of networked technology, embedded within architecture to monitor and control elements
of the architecture for exchange of information between users, systems and buildings.
Present – Bringing technology from other sectors
Occupancy profiling HVAC controls Energy monitoring Security monitoring Digital signage
Real time ‘everything’
The raw data of how many people are occupying a space in real-time will allow the precise alignment of occupancy and energy use, and create new metrics for space planning
Real Time dashboards
Visitor journeys
Visitor kiosks
Virtual check in
Facial recognition
Real time energy awareness and management
Internal and external customers are demanding organisations to be energy proficient
Energy conservation measures will move to be monetised in line with targets. Increased pressure to provide sustainable action and processes
Telepresence
Demand for Office intelligence
Drive for efficiencyAccu
